    Scanspeak Discovery vs. ADS 320i

    Looks like it's a clear choice for the I - I did some research and the IS and later ADS models seem to have the Poly cones - which don't sound as smooth. I noticed this with the older vs. newer ADS models on home speakers too. Their paper cones and sticky dome tweeters are what make them magical...

    Scanspeak Discovery vs. ADS 320i

    I don't have the 320 i though. And again - I need to choose between the I or IS and I don't have the money to buy both. If anything I would sell or trade this for that.

    Scanspeak Discovery vs. ADS 320i

    Hi Everyone, I have an ESX Q60.4 rebuilt by Stephen Mantz at Zed Audio and want to use it with some speakers on a Mini Cooper. Debating a couple of things: 1. Transfer the Alpine 7949 to the Mini - or get a Pioneer Carozzeria DEH-P01 or P99, etc, or a 7969, etc... Don't have much of a budget...

    Alpine SPX-137A vs. Scanspeak Discovery vs. Infinity Beta

    I won't consider the 137R because it's not made by Scanspeak and is actually made in China. It's practically a cheap knockoff version of the 137A. I'm sure it sounds OK but it sells for the same price as the Scanspeak unit which is handmade in Denmark for cheaper (where the labour is some of the...

    Alpine SPX-137A vs. Scanspeak Discovery vs. Infinity Beta

    Hello All, I know that the Infinity Beta 5" Component set is impossible to come by, and the Alpine SPX-137A is hard as well, although not impossible. I was wondering what the difference between the Alpine SPX-137A and Scanspeak Discovery 800212 sets were? Which are the better components? I know...

    Help with selection - 1991 Lotus Elan Components and Amp

    I've narrowed my search since I need some tweeters that are fairly small in diameter and shallow mount I can only really use the Alpine-SPX137A, Scanspeak Discovery 820012 and Infinity Beta line of component sets. HAT would work too but I don't want anything that's made in China. Does anyone...

    Alpine SPX-F13M Component Set - Scanspeak/Vifa

    Sorry but I'm only interested in the 137A as the 177R is a 6.5" set. I only need A series as it's a Scanspeak/Vifa unit...
